Privacy Policy — Waru - Fitness & Routine Tracker

Effective date: 22 October 2026
Last updated: 22 October 2026

1. Who we are

Waru - Fitness & Routine Tracker ("Waru", "the App") is operated by Renars Skietnieks, trading under the name Waru Studio, in Ireland. In this policy, "we", "our" and "us" refer to the App's operator.

This policy explains the information used by Waru, including information handled by services such as Google AdMob and Google Play.

2. Information you enter into Waru

You can use Waru without registering or signing in. The App lets you record information such as:

• Activities, routines and their names or settings.
• Workout details, sets, repetitions, weights, durations, checklist completions and activity history.
• Progress and performance statistics generated from your entries.
• Body weight, measurements and other body-tracking entries that you choose to save.
• App preferences, including units, appearance and customisation choices.

At launch, these records are stored locally on your device. We do not operate a Waru cloud account or cloud sync service and do not receive copies of your workout records or body measurements through the App. Google Sign-In and Waru cloud backup are not included in the initial release.

Some information you enter may relate to health or fitness and may be sensitive. You control what to record; you do not need to enter body measurements to use the general activity-tracking features.

3. Advertising and data processed by Google

The free version of Waru uses Google AdMob to display ads after a period of app use. Advertising technology may process information including device information, IP address, approximate location inferred from network information, advertising or app identifiers, ad interactions and information required for ad delivery, fraud prevention, frequency limits and reporting. The exact data involved depends on your device, region, settings and the Google services used.

We intend to use non-personalised ads by default. Non-personalised ads can still use identifiers or on-device storage for limited purposes, and applicable laws may require consent. Where required, Waru will present an advertising privacy/consent choice before relevant processing and allow you to revisit available choices. The timing of when an ad first appears does not necessarily determine when an advertising SDK processes information.

Google's privacy information: Google Privacy Policy. Google's explanations of advertising: How Google uses information.

We do not deliberately share your entered workouts, routines or body measurements with AdMob for ad targeting.

4. Google Play purchases

You can buy Waru Pro through Google Play Billing. Google handles payment processing. We do not collect your card or bank details. Google Play may provide purchase-related information or transaction identifiers to the App so it can verify a purchase and enable paid features. Google manages associated payment records under its own policies.

5. Other analytics, accounts and cloud storage

At initial release:

• Waru does not offer an app account, Google Sign-In or Waru-managed cloud backup.
• We do not plan to integrate a separate third-party analytics service or crash-reporting SDK.
• Advertising and payment services may still process technical or transaction information for their own purposes. Your operating system or app store may separately collect diagnostics under their own settings and policies.

If we introduce accounts, cloud sync, additional analytics or new third-party services, we will update this policy before those features start processing relevant information.

6. Why data is processed and legal bases

Your on-device entries are used to provide the tracking, statistics and customisation features you request. Where the GDPR applies and we act as a controller of personal data, we rely on appropriate legal bases depending on the activity:

• Performance of a contract: providing purchased features and responding to requests needed to supply Waru or support a purchase.
• Legitimate interests: operating and protecting the App, responding to support requests and preventing abuse, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: advertising-related use of storage, identifiers and personal information where consent is required; you can withdraw consent through the relevant privacy choices.
• Legal obligation: retaining any records that must be kept to meet legal, tax or accounting obligations.

Fitness and body-measurement entries may be sensitive health-related information. They remain on your device in the initial release. Before introducing any feature that transmits these entries, we will review the applicable additional safeguards and consent requirements.

7. Sharing and international transfers

We do not sell your workout history or body measurements. Third-party providers involved in advertising and purchases may receive the information described above. Google may process that information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area and is responsible for its processing and relevant safeguards as set out in its policies. Our own support communications may also be processed by the services hosting our email.

8. Keeping and deleting information

Your Waru activity and body-tracking entries stay on your device until you delete individual records or remove the App. Waru does not currently offer a one-tap 'delete everything' feature. Uninstalling the App ordinarily removes its locally stored app data, although device-level operating-system backup and restoration settings may preserve copies outside Waru's control. We cannot remotely retrieve or erase locally stored entries.

Advertising information is retained according to Google's applicable policies. Purchase and support-related information is retained only as long as necessary to manage transactions, respond to your request or comply with applicable obligations. For Google-held information, consult Google's privacy controls and notices.

For questions about information we hold, contact renar@warustudio.com.

9. Security

Waru uses on-device storage for your records. Access to local data depends partly on your device's security controls. We aim to use reasonable technical measures to protect information handled by the App, but no digital system offers absolute security. Keep your device updated and use an appropriate screen lock.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. To make a request about information we control, email renar@warustudio.com.

Because your Waru tracking records are stored locally at launch, we generally cannot access or edit them on your behalf. You can delete individual entries in the App. For information handled directly by Google, use the relevant Google privacy controls.

If you are in the European Economic Area, you can complain to the relevant data protection authority, including the Irish Data Protection Commission.

11. Age and availability

Waru is intended for adults aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children or younger teenagers. We do not ask for your date of birth at launch. Availability and age-related restrictions may also depend on Google Play settings and applicable local laws.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the App or legal requirements change. We will update the 'Last updated' date above and give additional notice where required. The current version will be available through our website and the App.
